Another home made Christmas post

Hello everyone, Bumping around blog land this week, I've been seeing a lot of 'hand made Christmas'  posts. I love seeing all the goodies people make their loved ones.

So here is my hand made post :)

My oldest son loves drafting and engineering drawing type stuff...layouts for his trains, trains, buildings, etc. So I made him an art bag to hold his drafting supplies.

It has space for paper, pencils, rulers, calculator, erasers...and zips up to keep it all together.

I made some pretty pillows for dd's tree fort.

Sigh~ I know, my pillow forms aren't as big as the cases...I'm terrible at math. lol

And for my youngest son, he wanted a cape.

It's  reversable. And can easily slip on and off over his head.

 

He loves it! 

I'm not the only one in the house to make hand made things though. My dd and youngest made us all some cute cards. And my oldest made things out of wood for us. I have a picture of just two of those things though.

This is a pinball machine he made for his sister.

He plans on putting some electronics in it, so that it keep score.

And here's a nice little box he made for me. I keep it on my sewing table.

He's doing so good with his woodworking!

I love getting hand made gifts, how about you?

Have a great day all.

 

Little things...and a nice surprise.

Christmas is almost here! The tree is  up today, the house is decorated, secret presents are being made~ all of us good with our hands, and we like to make things.

These will be pillows for the girls tree fort....this first picture I'll put these two blocks together and make a long pillow.

And this will be a square pillow. The design is called a windflower. Dd loves blue!

For boy #1, I have an art bag in the making, for him to put his drafting tools...no photo yet.
For boy #2, a blue and red cape! LOL, no superman logo or anything like that on it, just a plain one..no photo yet.

I am also starting another tutorial. This one will be on making a wedding ring block! All those curved pieces...yikes!!....not really though, slow and steady and it goes smoothly.

Here's the pieces I'm using.

So look to that sometime over the weekend...maybe, maybe next week.
